Isosceles Peak August 2004

...mouse click to enlarge... In August of 2004 I exposed a 4x5 sheet of Provia 100F on this favorite peak of mine, Isoceles Peak, in Dusy Basin of Kings Canyon National Park. This image was made in later afternoon at a location that emphasized the symmetry of the peak against the sky. Some days in the high country our blue skies are an incredibly saturated beautiful blue beyond mere words and such was the case here. In the background left is 14k North Palisade. One can see a couple clumps of common yellow willow at the left frame edge near this evaporating pond. Amazingly I also came across a garter snake at this pond that is well over 11k looking for tadpoles. In the foreground fall red leaf changed arctic willow grows in the grassy turf and also a few shooting star plants that had gone to seed weeks before. The image will be available as a Lightjet fine art print via Gallery B on my below homepage. David Senesac http://www.davidsenesac.com
